Blame Super Munch for providing the flash toon that inspired this. Haha, Leto. Where would I be without your PSYCHOTIC MIND TWISTING?! BWAHAHAHA I'm done.
A little late for Halloween, but better than nothing at all. Drew it while listening to "Burn the Witch" by Queens of the Stone Age.
Hammer Claw
Name: Thomas Norman
Age: 36
Height: 6'4''
Weight: 1,000 Ibs (the legs provide most of the weight)
Powers: His lower body has been replaced with a 6-legged walking mechanism, which is extremely versatile and agile, considering its weight. His armored suit is nearly impenetrable, and his claws can shoot lasers and have enough crushing power to turn a car into a ball of aluminum.
Weaknesses: The armor doesn’t cover his entire body, so he does have some vulnerable spots. He also has no peripheral vision, due to the goggles.
Hammer Claw(or, as Neon calls him, "Crabby,") is a war veteran who had his torso blown off by a landmine. His cousin, Terry Norman (Who absolutely loathed him) was in charge of the Weapons and Defense Technology department of Geneticorp (You'll hear that name mentioned a lot), and happened to be in need of a guinea pig for a new type of locomotion, a six-legged "crab-walker" machine.
Terry had some of his operatives take his unlucky cousin into a secret facility in Brazil, where he met with Terry and was fitted with the six-legged walking device. After awaking and recovering from the anesthesia, he looked down at the hideous metallic device his torso was set into. He tried pulling himself from it, but found that he was physically wired to it.
He was then taken to a room in the facility, where he met the head of Geneticorp (name withheld for spoiler reasons). This man promised Thomas that if he brought two very important genetic experiments by the names Sledge and Neon back to him, he would remove the walker. Blinded by false hope, Thomas didn't realize that the harness could never be removed; it was wired to almost everything in him. But still, Thomas gladly agreed, on one small condition: That he get a suit of armor to go with his legs. The head of Geneticorp smiled and replied, "I thought you'd never ask."
From then on, Hammer Claw's only goals in life were to take down Neon and Sledge, and to work towards his freedom; all the time unaware that only one of those goals could ever be fulfilled.
He is now a walking tank, able to cause large amounts of damage in a short amount of time. He is to be considered extremely dangerous.
Note: He is able to remove the armor, just not the legs.
Quetzaca, another villain. I don't know if I want her to be the actual deity she's based on, or a genetic mutation.
A better, clearer shot. Her rattle is actually very heavy and can break through metal.
